Aren't you still stuck using their implementation of BigTable? I forget if that's changed.
The main benefit of say Heroku is that while migrating away is not trivial, in principle you shouldn't have to rearchitect your app to do it.

I kinda like Datastore though. Maybe I'm just use to it. The limitations just make sense if you want to scale.
They also have a RDBS you can use though ... I've never used it.
Still haven't figured out a clean way to do geospatial stuff with Datastore, so that is one big caveat.
How is that an advantage over App Engine, given the existence of AppScale? [1]
